As protesters Brooklyn past curfew one night in early June marched, the young man was holding a megaphone in front of the crowd holding a date for repeating: June 23 It ‘been a terrible day George Floyd’s death. It ‘was the date of the primaries of the New York Democrat. “Nothing will change unless we protest only,” he said Yahshiyah Screws, 19, brought the crowd. “Use your emotions in the polls, use your emotions in the voting booth All these people here.” The last few weeks have demonstrated the power of the nascent movement for racial justice following the death of Floyd. In less than a month, the protests have shifted public opinion on systemic racism, toppled high-profile executives and momentum in their quest to defund police. The coming weeks and months will determine whether the movement translate their social and cultural power into political power. The first test will come on June 23, when more young black candidate living matter are aligned movement with the black, running in the Democratic primary competitive. This race could be a way to drive a preview of the November presidential election, when the presumptive Democratic candidate Joe Biden is hoping a strong turnout among African-Americans to victory. The protests could be a political bonanza for the democratic, political strategists say, to increase its galvanizing reliable voting bloc, and voter registration. But it is not yet clear whether the party is ready for use, especially at national level. Already the movement has fired some voters. The Rock nonprofit progressive registered 150,000 new voters vote in the first two weeks of June, the highest two-week election cycle reflected in 2020. And despite significant obstacles in the election, the Democrats in Georgia more than 1 million cards cast in the state primary Junes 9 to break the record at the 2008 contest between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. “People queued for hours were,” said NSE ufot, director of the New Georgia project that hundreds of voters to black protests screw matter to the principal registered. “You can imagine that people want to have the strength, the determination, the determination of steel eyes, when they go to the polls in November?” The New Georgia project is one of a handful of organizations in person voter registered at protests across the country. But so far the effort, the energy of motion to convert into votes is spontaneous, localized and disjointed, similar to the protests themselves expansive National efforts are digital. Rectifier The collective PAC, the political power of black construction, has a new effort to collect data from mobile phones protesters have started serving their ads on registering to vote. Michael Bloomberg gave $2 million to register the collective efforts CAP 250,000 blacks voters in key states. “It makes more sense to do it digitally, from a security point of view,” says Quentin James, co-founder of Collective PAC. “We know that the unregistered African Americans, we have their names, we have their address, we know that people of color are eliminated, and are looking at them in particular.” James says that in six days, more than 1,000 people clicked on the ads, the group is performed by the effort to geo-targeting. national democratic organizations, meanwhile, have been slow to capitalize on the movement of energy. The DCCC and DSCC uncoordinated national efforts to register voters in the protests, and Biden registration campaign actively protesters not to speakers. Such an effort would be logistically difficult: many actions that are provided by the spontaneous local organizers and filmy who work outside the party structure, making it difficult to coordinate voter registration efforts. Above all, the protests both a gift and a challenge for Biden, who fully supported the movement objectives without activists disputed claims. “This movement politicized young blacks voters in particular,” says LaTosha Brown, co-founder of voters regard blacks that targets blacks to register voters in neglected areas. “They take a much harder look at his record. And that is not necessarily in his work please.” The former vice president whose support saved under the blacks voters his sagging campaign with a crucial victory in South Carolina is on his knees with the protesters, a well received talk of long US fight against racial injustice and speech at the funeral of Floyd. It also announced its penal reform plans, which are a grant $20 billion to encourage states to move towards the prevention of violence, instead of incarceration, marijuana decriminalized, cash deposit at the end, and with the power the Ministry of Justice on misconduct systemic crack in the police. Since the protests called for the prohibition of chokeholds and an end qualified immunity and stop the transfer of “war” weapons to the police authorities. But he rejected the accusations of activists, defund the ‘Police doubling it offers instead on its police reform plan, the $300 million for community policing. So far, the balancing act seems to work: to have “defund the police” Trump attempts to paint does not seem like a radical blocked, while the new poll suggesting emerged that 58% of Americans oppose the call to E Biden has his still held the leadership in key states. “What we say is to young people that we hear your concerns, we share your pain, share your enthusiasm,” said Biden Senior Advisor Symone Sanders. “We have the same goals, we want change, we want the police reform in this country, and I think we all agree that this moment has given us the opportunity to do just that.” The next test of blacks living matter the political power move comes on June 23, when several states hold primaries with the young black candidate. New 16th Congressional District of the city of York, deriving from the principal of the middle school in the Bronx Jamaal Bowman extends in lower Westchester, runs on 16 times unseat incumbent Democrat Eliot Engel. In the 17th District of New York, Mondaire Jones tried the black gay first to be open to a congressman to replace a retiring Democrats competing in a crowded primary. And in Kentucky, state Rep. Charles Booker race against a well-funded opponents, Amy McGrath, for the Democratic nomination for the Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell to take. All three candidates have explicitly aligned themselves with the movement. “We racial and economic injustice from the very beginning of our campaign centered,” Bowman says his attempt to unseat angel. “In the volunteer’s telephone log bench area to give people a contribution to the campaign, all that stuff is exponentially increased in recent weeks.” It does not help that Engel, chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, a scarce presence in his district was and was caught in a recent protest a hot mic, says that “if I am not a primary I would not care.” in May, always Bowman was about 30 to 40 volunteers registrations per day, according to the campaign provided. Floyd died on May 25 to 4 June, the number of volunteers had doubled; until June 10, he had tripled. Bowman has raised nearly $265,000 over three days in early June, almost one-third of what he raised in an entire year before. After endorsements from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, flowed even more money in his campaign. A week in June, exceeded one million dollars. Jones, a lawyer, has worked in the Obama administration says it has also seen a significant increase in donations of rich, white parts of his Westchester County. “I think what people have to deal with this if they want to see justice for all races, they have to support progressive candidates like me,” he says. What Booker, his Breonna Taylor family, the black woman who was killed by police in March runs a no-knock warrant knew. He firmly established in the marches for your question the death of justice become Kentucky. “He tears up the streets with people who are facing the same trauma a trauma that I wear some cousins who were killed in the last four years, actually taken note of the Community,” said Booker. “E ‘for me a big boost in fundraising, a big boost in support.” Before the protests began, it raises Booker approximately $100,000 per month. He has about $2 million raised in June, after his campaign enough to fund an ad accusing McGrath protests to jump. He says he works with a network of volunteers from hundreds of people across the state historically disenfranchised blacks to mobilize voters in Kentucky, who had been involved in politics before. more than 300 telephone banking shifts on average before Memorial Day, his campaign a week, says his campaign; now they have more than 100 a day. “We get ignored, we get taken for granted and the only people in conversation with us, if they want us to use them and then disappear on us,” he says. “We are helping redefine what it means to be involved in politics.” Polling remains poor in the primaries of the Congress and Senate Democrats, so it’s hard to say which of these candidates likely to prevail 23. After a date for the advance poll, Bowman now angels including a lead of 46 points with blacks voters leads of 10 points (the survey about 5 points, a margin of error than necessary). A survey by Public Policy Polling Jones has called for more than 10 points in a primary leader. The Booker campaign has internal polling that shows McGrath comeback. But the real impact of the movement chosen is not clear, you count the votes. As a young blacks candidates like Booker, Bowman and Jones personally talk about the scourge of systemic racism and police violence. Biden is another matter. While he has a strong bond with many blacks voters, some Democrats worry about his reluctance to meet the demands of the movements could cost him his enthusiasm and votes. A coalition of more than 50 progressive groups recently wrote an Biden letter urges him to adapt his positions against the police to him its review challenging platform “to ensure that the federal government ends up permanently and not any further use of the funds for local police in any form. “” you can not have the choice, without the enthusiastic support of blacks voters to win, and how you will act in this crisis an important role in determining how black voters and all voters react with justice racial to your game app, wrote “groups. “A, Rückkehr in Normalität’wird not be enough.” Organizers say the Veteran Biden are older, while blacks Democrats loyal voters, handed over the appointment, the young activists took to the streets demanding more. “If Biden does not come true, it is a blow to take,” says Matter brown black voters. “It needs people of color and youth. He can not win without either.” As one Republican strategist Stuart Stevens points out, the chances of winning the President Trump Spike color when Democratic voters to stay home. Stevens, who recommended in 2012, says GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney that Ronald Reagan got 55% of white votes in 1980 and win, while John McCain during the year was in 2008, 55% of white votes and It lost, mainly because white voters Obama arrived. In 2016 Hillary Clinton has lost in part because of the depressed black participation in major cities in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. “If Biden get nonwhite participation for what it was in ’12, ’08 or ’04, wins, all other things being equal,” says Stevens. “He does not need to win white un’elettori.” Ultimately, they say many activists also have to vote for Biden program if it does not meet all their demands. “Many people could feel disenchanted, but I also think it is going to make a lot of people and a vote, because what else to do there?” Dara says Hyacinthe, a free 25-year pro, in Brooklyn. “It ‘a two-pronged attack, in fact: They are protesting, and then vote.”
